最近的坏血病病例报告表明，维生素C缺乏症可能比一般认为的更普遍。低收入饮食和营养调查（2003- 2005年）对低收入/物质匮乏的联合王国人口的代表性样本进行了血浆维生素C测量，对来自联合王国所有国家/地区的≥ 19岁的成年人进行了筛查，以确定低收入/物质匮乏的家庭。在433名男性和876名女性中进行了有效的血浆维生素C测量。在低收入/物质匮乏人口中，估计有25%的男性和16%的女性血浆维生素C浓度表明缺乏（< 11 μ mol l（-1）），另有五分之一的人口处于耗尽范围（11-28 μ mol l（-1））。作为一名男性，报告低膳食维生素C摄入量，不服用维生素补充剂和吸烟是血浆维生素C水平的预测因素
Recent case reports of scurvy indicate that vitamin C deficiency may be more prevalent that generally assumed. The Low Income Diet and Nutrition Survey (2003-05) of a representative sample of the low-income/materially deprived UK population included a plasma vitamin C measurement.Adults aged >= 19 years from all countries/regions of UK were screened to identify low-income/materially deprived households. A valid plasma vitamin C measurement was made in 433 men and 876 women. The results were weighted for sampling probability and non-response.An estimated 25% of men and 16% of women in the low-income/materially deprived population had plasma vitamin C concentrations indicative of deficiency (< 11 mu mol l(-1)), and a further fifth of the population had levels in the depleted range (11-28 mu mol l(-1)). Being a man, reporting low-dietary vitamin C intake, not taking vitamin supplements and smoking were predictors of plasma vitamin C levels
